NX-AB2 Dual Source Selector Switch
OWNER’S MANUAL
Congratulations on choosing the NX-AB2 Wall Mount Amplifier - Speaker Selector Switch. Like all NXG products, great care has been taken in its
design. We hope the combination of advanced engineering and state-of-the-art materials will provide you with a lifetime of listening pleasure.
Introduction
The NX-AB2 is a stereo (two channel), dual source selector switch that allows a single pair of speakers to be switched between two amplifier
sources or a single amplifier output to be switched between two pairs of speakers.
The NX-AB2 is ideal for situations where one pair of speakers shares two amplifier sources. For example, a pair of speakers located in a living
room that are also used as home theater speakers. The speakers connect to a remote amplifier for background music and can be switched to
connect to the home theater amplifier when watching a movie.
The NX-AB2 can also be used in situations whereone amplifier powers two sets of speakers located in
different areas of the home. For example, one amplifier’s output could be switched between a set of
outdoor speakers and another set of indoor speakers.

3. Pay close attention to the identification markings on the connectors when inserting each wire to main-
tain proper polarity throughout the system from your amplifier to the NX-AB2 switch, and out to your
speakers. Be sure to twist the loose strands of each wire together into a tight bundle when inserting it
into the small opening of the connector to prevent loose strands from touching each other.
